Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On May 19, 2023, Acri Capital Acquisition Corporation (the “ Company ”) received a letter (the “ Letter ”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“ Nasdaq ”) that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) for the Company was below the $50 million minimum MVLS requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “Global Market”) under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “ MVLS Rule ”). The Letter is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company will have 180 calendar days, or until November 15, 2023 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. To regain compliance with the MVLS Rule, the MVLS for the Company must be at least $50 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time during this Compliance Period. If the Company regains compliance with the MVLS Rule, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation and will close the matter.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule by the Compliance Date, Nasdaq will provide written notification that its securities will be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, the Nasdaq rules permit the Company an opportunity to appeal Nasdaq’s determination. The Letter notes that the Company may be eligible to transfer the listing of its securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Capital Market”), provided that it then satisfies the requirements for continued listing on the Capital Market. On May 22, 2023, the Company submitted an application for a transfer from the Global Market to the Capital Market, which is currently pending review by Nasdaq.
